On this episode of Revealing Voices, we welcome Sherry Lanning to the show. Sherry wrote a letter to her son Robin called “The Fish Catcher” in Hope for Troubled Minds. She reads it and shares what it meant to write and publish it.
Sherry is a retired nurse, living in Oregon with David, her husband of 53 years. Together, they’ve been blessed with 7 children and 10 grandchildren.
She has volunteered during national disasters and with international medical missions, serving with relief teams to Guatemala, Haiti and Uganda.
The challenges of her son’s schizophrenia required a safer environment. Robin was welcomed home with open arms. She balances her life by performing as a freestyle flutist and loving her 24 family members. In her spare time, she spoils her Weiner dog ladies, Annabelle and Dorothy.

Sherry Lanning’s post cast about her son Robin.:
I’m so impressed you had the courage to be able to do candidly and compassionately share your journey you have had with your son , Robin, who suffers from mental illness.
You presented such a compelling testimony and I know others that live with mentally ill loved ones were confirmed, inspired as they felt the compassion you shared about your journey with Robin.
We , as humans, exist to glorify our Lord Jesus Christ. God presents us with many unusual ways to be able to glorify Him.
Your willingness to share Robin’s life and all the endless struggle are such an amazing testimony to show how God’s love empowered you and your family to survive unspeakable situations and circumstances. This is just a powerful testimony filled with passion, hope, love, patience through the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. GLORY BE TO HIM!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story of
Robin: The Fish Catcher
Sherry, your sincerity shines through all of the experiences you describe. Life can leave us humbled and your example (along with your family) of extreme grace in dealing with it all is heartening and life affirming. Sending my best to you and Robin and David and the rest of your family.
